The dilemma I am having is that to do so, I have to lose 24 stamina, due to the loss of the solid stars that will be overwritten. I will now get the set bonus from the gloves (*golfclap?*) Am I nuts? FYI we are hitting up the Opera soon. Great resource here at Tankingtips.com. Amazing work!

A detailed study on this can be found in the elitistjerks forums.

The 2 piece T4 set bonus really just decreases rage so I don't like it for regular tanking. @axemaster: If you have 490 defense, the pocketwatch offers so much avoidance its hard to pass up coupled with an amazing usage on only a 2 minute timer. It's really the clear winner. Onyxia's Blood Talisman should be used instead if you haven't reached 490 defense or obviously when you need Fire Resistance. @Annalyze:
